I just saw an article with data showing indeed, very few w/o “underlying conditions” die so far.

Not sure this is what I was thinking of, from WA state:

under “demographics”. Nothing about health status, but the age-group thing is overwhelming.

“I just saw an article with data showing indeed, very few w/o “underlying conditions” die so far.”

Thanks for the link. I agree, most fatalities do have some kind of underlying conditions...but it’s not quite as absolute as some assert. Also of concern is that the list of underlying conditions has grown to such an extent that so many people have one or more of them that it becomes somewhat less relevant. For example, I know very few people who aren’t to some degree overweight, or have some amount of high blood pressure, or (if it were to be regularly monitored) unhealthy swings in their blood sugar levels, etc. I think there may be other (genetic?) risk factors that are yet unaccounted for.
